Hanks
Hanks / Skeins
A form of yarn presentation in which the yarn is wound into loose rings of defined length, obtained by reeling. Hank dyeing is used for delicate or bulky yarns (wool, high-bulk acrylic, silk) that cannot withstand the tension of package dyeing. This method ensures the best colour penetration and preserves the volume and softness of the yarn.
